OneStage - Registered as Charities Aid Foundation India’s Post

Raj Nair reminded me today of this Ted Talk by Dan Pallotta, 'The way we think about charity is dead wrong'. I've seen this before, but it was so good to be reminded of it as there are so many nuggets of gold in this Talk that we really need to keep reminding ourselves of, and talking about, as directors and executives of charities. My key takeaways: 1. "The social problems we are trying to solve are massive in scale and our charitable organisations are tiny up against them, and we have a belief system that keeps them tiny." 2. Why are we so afraid of individuals making money from helping people? Dan sums this up so well: "You want to make 50 million dollars selling violent video games to kids, go for it. We'll put you on the cover of Wired magazine. But you want to make half a million dollars trying to cure kids of malaria, and you're considered a parasite yourself." 3. The non-profit sector is at a disadvantage because we don't like to see our donations spent on advertising and marketing, even though that money could bring in significantly greater sums to achieve our purposes. As Dan says, "how does the non-profit sector take market share away from another sector if it isn't really allowed to market?" Personally, I think this issue extends to our concern as a society around charities spending money on 'administrative' costs, when those costs include the expenses necessary to achieve our purposes. 4. Charities are generally more afraid to take risks in pursuit of new ideas for generating revenue or achieving our purpose, due to the possible reputational ramifications. "When you prohibit failure, you kill innovation. If you kill innovation in fundraising, you can't raise more revenue. If you can't raise more revenue, you can't grow and if you can't grow you can't possibly solve large social problems." Is it time for your charity to put these strategic issues for discussion on its agenda?

Living with a rare disease can often be isolating. Many conditions have patient groups or organisations (e.g. charities and non-profits) that can help support you on your journey. They are there to help wherever they can and provide a support network. #RareDisease #RareDiseaseAwareness #Isolation #AskForHelp #NeverAlone

📲 Which charities do MPs like to tweet about the most? With a combined following share of over 38+ million, getting your campaigns recognised and shared by an MP is a fantastic way to spread awareness. 5392 mentions in total last year! If you've ever wondered the answer to this question, PoliMonitor has conducted research to see which of the top 100 non-profit organisations were mentioned most frequently over Twitter (sorry, "X") and the results are... 🥇 Royal British Legion - 321 mentions 🥈 Samaritans - 236 mentions 🥉 Dogs Trust - 216 mentions Alzheimer's Research UK sees the biggest year-on-year gain from 23rd place in 2022 to 6th place in 2023! The RBL saw particularly high engagement around the remembrance period and on Armed Forces Day, while the Samaritans charity jumped 6 places, driven by their Brew Monday campaign and work on World Suicide Prevention Day. In terms of top tweeters, Labour MP Sarah Champion leads the way on these mentions, racking up 102 tweets/retweets. This is followed closely behind by Conservative MP Sir Bob Neill on 100. Thank you to the PoliMonitor team behind this interesting research! You can find and download their full report here: https://lnkd.in/e3qqDV7E

Leaders of small charities often start in the 🔦dark - I was one of them. Wading through governance and leadership tasks with little practical support for guidance. I pledged that when the time was right, I would help others in the same situation. That time has come. Sadly, I have no capacity at present to take on additional clients for one-to-one support. But I've got something else for you - my "Tools for Charities". No price tag. Pure value. Jump onboard. Let's light up the world of small charities together💡. #charitytools #smallcharities
